No, because I don't think most companies even know what an AI role means yet. I'm not too keen on having my time wasted learning a bunch of already out of date crap for a company that can't muster a real plan around AI. Speaking of, I might have been more enthusiastic if I was a young man. In my 30s, I can hardly give a shit about spending my remaining years, before dedicating myself to a family, sitting in front of a screen trying to be relevant and learn some hackneyed Python scripts that implement already-outdated AI models. Fuck that shit. That's a young man's game. I already did that with JavaScript development, which now looks incredibly stable in contrast to AI. Most products integrating AI will be obsolete soon anyway. The idea that AI works better as an adjunct to existing applications seems reasonable in the short term, but LLMs will get more advanced to the point where doing things in a traditional way won't make sense. The people in charge of businesses right now are simply too set in their ways and are unwilling to actually understand this technology. They believe they will see riches by being a GPT-whisperer, and maybe they will in the short term.
